Another big earthquake has hit south-west Pakistan, in a region where at least 400 people died in a quake earlier this week.

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck approximately 250 kilometres north of the port city of Karachi.

At least 12 people have died and it's feared the death toll could rise.

It's been described as an aftershock from Tuesday's earthquake, and similar tremors could continue for weeks.

Officials have estimated that about 300,000 people were affected by the earlier quake but relief and rescue efforts have been hampered by poor road networks and separatist militant activity.
